Dr Devdutt Pattanaik has kindly agreed to give a talk on - Patients and Doctors in Indian Mythology – what we can learn from them !
Dr Devdutt is well-known for his "out of the box" approach for dealing with topical problems. He is the author of Business Sutra: a very Indian approach to management, where he says "Belief shapes behaviour and behaviour shapes business."
Trained as a medical doctor, he worked for 14 years in the pharma and healthcare industry for 15 years before becoming business advisor in Ernst & Young. He then turned his hobby and passion into his profession to become Chief Belief Officer of Big Bazaar Future Group.
He is author of 25 books, 400 articles on relevance of mythology in modern times including Jaya : an illustrated retelling of the Mahabharata . He consults Star TV and Epic TV on storytelling. He is advisor to the shows Devon ke Dev Mahadev as well as Mahabharat.
His radical yet accessible views on leadership, management, governance on TV shows like Shaastrath on CNBC Awaaz and Business Sutra on CNBC have made him a popular speaker in corporates and lecturer in business schools.
Our 4th Annual Putting Patients First conference will be held on 16 Nov, Nehru Center, Worli. Darius Khambatta, Advocate General, Maharashtra, will be Chief Guest and KeyNote Speaker; and we will be releasing our book – Patient Advocacy – Giving Voice to Patients, at this time
You can register for the conference free at www.patientpower.in !
Nice very informative article ....
ReplyDeleteDevdutt Patnaik started the book in a very good way, but the book lost its charm when I was about 100 pages into the book. Still slugged on and on for another 200 pages, but gave it up after I realized that I couldn't make out the unifying theme of this book.
ReplyDeleteFor me, gods and businesses don't mix well.
